Ghost "Skeleta" LP

 The most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter - such as IMPERA's meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle's evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues - Skelet?'s lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view. Standard black vinyl, collectible "Papa V" overlay (shrink-wrapped to back of jacket).
